No, I was actually referring to the Level 3 LIMIT Break, Meteorain. It may be the only attack in which he himself levitates, but I still felt it should be mentioned.

And fine, Cloud's abilities are not determined by the small amount of J-Cells he'd at one time had in his body.
Yeah, Cid was just a pilot... At the begin of the story. Then he joins your party, kicks the ass of Jenova, the Weapons, and Sephiroth, and becomes much stronger(as proved by AC).
RPG characters evolves during their adventure to save the planet/universe/whatever. Cid is not different.

One of Barrets Limit Breaks in the game, is using a satelite to shoot his enemyes from space. Do you really thinks he have control over a satelite in the story?! Of course not!
Meteorain is the same. All Limit Breaks are the same. They are exagerated versions of what the characters can really do. Cloud cannot fly during Meteorain, and he cannot create meteors out of nowhere. That's only gameplay.

And some of his abilities are determined by J-cells, of course. But not levitation.
